Step into the art of Vincent van Gogh. Follow young Vincent and his brother Theo as they chase a fox on an imaginary adventure through the artists greatest paintings, including The Starry Night, Vincent's Bedroom, and Wheatfield with Crows. On their magical journey, the boys - and the fox - experience failure. From it, they discover how to become the best you can be when you grow up.

"A charming, unique way to introduce youngsters to great art while providing an important message."-Kirkus Reviews.

The book combines storytelling with full-color reproductions of 30 van Gogh paintings. Young readers will appreciate his art in a deeper way, discover details of van Gogh's life, and learn how siblings achieve a shared goal.

"Van Gogh and a fox make art more fun... It's not a long or hard book to read. But the colorful paintings jump off the pages and will give you a lot to think about.... Macaluso includes information on each of the paintings in the book.... [He] wants to share the beauty of the art world with all kids. And even if they don't admit it right away, it's cool. Very cool."
- Marylou Tousignant, The Washington Post, KidsPost
